how'd you all choose your names ?

honestly, I had always known what name i wanted. since the 1st grade. I have always loved the name scott.. and except I thought it would be cooler as Skott so thats how I chose my name. That is how I identified myself to my online friends when it was literally the only time I could feel like myself.

I used the name that my Mother would have given me had I been born with female parts, and the middle name that I would have given to a daughter if I had ever had one.

Eh... I still don't have a name, other than the unisex version of my given one.  It's frustrating, but there are so many good names out there.  I just need to find the one that says me.  I'll be watching this thread. 

yeah its really hard I have one for a few days and hear a better one , Im trying to find the ONE lol

I've always loved the name Alexander, and the middle name (Matthew) just came to me all of a sudden.  Although I am trying to decide between Matthew or Julian.  I also go by Mara which is the short version of my fursona Amaterasu.  And yes, for those Japan buffs out there, that is a girl spirit.  But there is a long story behind why I am a boy Minccino with a girl name.

I used my first initial of my male name as a start.  I thought I would keep my initials the same.  There aren't a lot of females names that start with P that I like so I chose Paige. 

I guess I should figure out how to change my profile name to that.

I tried several different names.  The name my parents would have given me if they'd recognized that I was girl is my daughter's middle name, so adopting that seemed weird to me.  Besides, I don't think it fits who I am now, all these years later. 

I don't know how I came up with Katherine, but it is a name in my family - an aunt and a great grandmother.  I slid my male first name over to be my new middle name.  I have some regrets about doing that but don't want to bother with another name change. 
 
It was my friends who insisted on calling me Kate instead of Katherine.  I like being Kate.

- me

I picked my name from a song that I absolutely love.

A friend named me.

A friend named me.

devlyn is a awesome name !

Thanks, when I asked her about it, she said her daughter was going to be Shannon or Devlyn. Shannon won, and when she got a chance she decided to apply Devlyn to me.

your lucky to have such a supportive friend

My name just magically popped into my head and it sounded so right. 

You just need to remember, this isn't a forum handle of a gamer tag, pick a name you think actually makes sense.

Because ideally, it is what you will want to be on documents, and things like identification.

Me, I altered the variation of my first name, and added a letter to my second name. Most go with something totally new, but, me, I like the sound of my name.

Just remember, it is something that once you select, will be only slightly less difficult to get rid of than a bad idea tattoo.

?? I was just starting a thread I thought people might have fun stories behind ideas or reasons in the form of great stories why

My first and middle name are Doctor Who characters, I kept my last name which is from a different sci-fi show.

Amy

Oops sorry, I thought you had a different idea in mind

In my case, as I said, it is my actual name, merely modified.

Side benefit, everyone uses Les, and as such, I actually have no trouble getting people to call me by my real name aka the name I prefer. I hear Les and I think Lesley, I am not worried they might be thinking Leslie in their own head, I just need to hear it my way

Now if I can get them to also use she and her etc etc

Mine came from a NATURE'S FURY in the form of a HURRICANE.

How my life felt at the moment. I just changed it up so it was more mine.
